I totally agree with this LZMM

***既然你们是决定要两个孩子的，就生吧。如果流产你一定会后悔的。
大不了晚几年买房子，不是多大的事情。孩子能带给你的快乐要比房子多太多了。(yes, it is more of a peer pressure, big house, big yard, but it is not a absolute condition for a happy life, right?!)

至于让孩子过好的生活啥的，这些都是借口，孩子跟爹妈在一起相亲相爱的生活就是最好的生活.

I know it is very hard for you, but you still young, have time to pick up your education, you can send your kids to daycare after 6 months, or one year. You can continue your study.

If you get a kid later, all those work still required. patpat LZMM, I believe at night and weekends, your LG are able to help too, working hard during working hours, then help raising kids- this is two people's job.

BIG BLESS.

mm已经是一个孩子的妈妈了，可以想想怎么在有孩子的同时规划享受自己的生活。我比较乐观，看不出为什么你不能又生老二又读书。把老大送到daycare，自己怀孕的时候可以选1-2学期课。生下来休学一学期。之后老二可以去part time daycare，要不然选个能晚上上课的学校，或者父母帮忙一两个学期，有很多选项可以尝试，关键看你有没有决心去做。
其实永远没有合适的怀孕时间，即使你上了学，找了工作，可能学业繁重，工作很忙，老大操心。。。不如既来之，则安之。调整自己的计划，生孩子读书两不误

MM, about school district, you can still rent a apt in the good school district, I have co-worker did that so that she can send her daugher to good school.
Do not feel the peer pressure about house, it is just a place to live, the key is to have a good finanical plan for the long term. I got my house last year, after spending 7 years renting, I do not feel I am inferior because I am renting (BTW, my salary can afford fairly good house). I just do not want to be the slave of my house. Kids might also enjoy more gathering with friends, if you have a house but they can certainly wait till older.

I think you can manage timing, your study plan, taking are of kids, it is not easy granted, but should be fine..........also to save money, try some yard sales, freecycle.org, redtag sales, you can save lots of money for 2nd hands clothes. Again, this is a choice of life style, some people do not want to do it, but I have no problem (even financially I can easily afford all those).


Key is to be happy, healthy, love in the family!!

Big Bless
